My TED Story

My first contact with TED came from a person inside TED. That was the spark that I kept inside. Until I met a nice group of people. First we were having conversation via twitter, we had in common: twitter and Andorra. One day in 2010, We decided to meet in person and I proposed the idea to create the first TEDx in Andorra, as we all believe that they are many ideas worth to be spread. Our first one was in 2011

  • A comment on Conversation: How do you build offline meaningful social connections?

    Mar 9 2013: Let me explain my experience. We live in a very small country, we are 70.000 people, yes smaller than your neighborhood. Our TEDx organizer group started from a twitter conversation. We decided to go offline and meet for a coffee, That was the spark. our first bay step to start walking together, then we decided that we wanted to organize our first TEDx . This friendship trip started with a common project. We didn't have something in common to start with, just twitter talks. We have done 4 TEDx event for our community.
    My advise, if I may, Create a purpose and be yourself. That works.and give baby steps one by one, don't hurry
    We had people that joined us at the beginning and they left, but a great good of people keep working together and being friends. Without this common action we would have never become friends

  • A comment on Conversation: What advice would you give to your 23 year old self?

    Mar 9 2013: Think bigger and follow your intuition, just listen to that little voice inside your head and follow your dream, all other thing will come.
